I think it was this thread, someone said about pastry. Glad I’m not alone in that. Knew I should have had rice instead of the spring rolls. Definitely will be avoiding pastry products from now on!!

Thank you! I’m hoping I caught it early enough that I haven’t done too much damage and my body can handle carbs (at the moment) and I can ‘reverse it’. Fingers crossed.

I tested with lunch since I had a McDonald’s: Big Mac and fries with 6 nuggets. before - 6.1 30 mins after - 6.4 60 mins after - 8.8 90 mins after - 8.3 2 hours after - 6.9 Seem to respond less to the carbs in McDonald’s than the carbs in the pastry of the spring rolls last night. Don’t think...

I’m going to try testing at these intervals tonight with a mediumish amount carbs meal (200g potatoes) and then Saturday evening with a very low carb meal (under 30g) to see what happens. I’ll keep testing in the hopes one day I can stop testing Thanks for your reply.

All my readings have been below a raise of 2.0mmol and under 8.5. Been lucky in that sense, since my favourite food is potatoes in any form lol

I’ve applied for the libre 2 free trial and am awaiting delivery of that. I know that will give me a more accurate reading for carbs and what my blood sugar is doing at night. Especially as I am waking up in the 7-9 range. Trying to get my results from carbs now as I know the NHS don’t give out...

Ok so results are as follows after a 64g carbs dinner: - Before dinner - 5.6 30 mins after - 8.3 60 mins after - 9.6 90 mins after - 8.7 2 hours after - 7.5 Looks like I spike 1 hour after eating (well today anyway) my question now is if my blood sugar is returning to 7.5 2 hours after than...

Thank you. I might also test after 30 minutes tonight and see what the reading is if it can happen within half hour. CMG free trial in the post which I’m guessing is when I’ll see the real time results. All trail and error which right now is so tiring and time consuming. Shame there isn’t a diet...

It’ll be handy to see if I do spike so soon after. Going to finger prick test today after my dinner. (Having curry and rice) to see the readings 60 mins, 90 mins, 2 hours, 3 hours and 4 hours after eating. Maybe I am spiking later on.

I’ve just applied for the free trial of the Libra 2 sensor. I’ll try eating carbs with this in and see how it goes. Thank you for letting me know about this.

I started testing an hour after but it never increased more than a few points, hence why the diabetic nurse said to me only ever test 2 hours after, so I stopped the hour after testing. Just tested now, 1 hour after my dinner (chilli with 200g of potatoes) started at 4.8 and now only sitting at...

2 hours after the first bite. I have also checked a few times 3 hours after and the reading is around the same/ slightly lower.

I’ve been given a blood sugar monitor to check what foods are spiking my blood sugar but so far no carbs are… unless I’m grossly underestimating what a spike is….? Potatoes - 130g (39.5 carbs per meal) Before meal - 5.6 After meal - 6.1 Rice - 66g (86.8 carbs per meal) Before meal - 5.4...

I think I might start trying breakfast when waking, see if that stops the spike. Wish it was a fit all diet and wasn’t so confusing

Thank for replying to all my messages. They have been so helpful, it’s all so new to me so is very confusing, thank for you being patient with me. So if it’s unusual to test between waking, fasting and pre meal should I cut out the 9am blood sugar check and just do; waking, pre lunch, after...

I hope this too. I’m so determined to put my diabetes into readmission. Especially as I’m only 28. I just wish there was an easy, fit everyone type number for all of this

So if a blood sugar is in the ‘normal’ range after dinner (Or under 2mmols increase) that meal didn’t spike your blood sugar? Or can you spike after 2 hours?

Recently been giving a blood sugar monitor to check how certain foods spike my blood sugars. First evening I had 28g carbs and ending the meal 2 hours later at 8.3MMOL(149MG/DL ). Yesterday I had 50g carbs and ending the meal with a reading of 8.4MMOL(151MG/DL) . Before both these meals my blood...

Hi, recently diagnosed diabetic here, type 2 diabetes. Diet control. I have been giving a blood glucose monitor by my GP to check my blood sugars, however no instructions were given as to when to test. It was all very vague. I understand I should be testing 2 hours after a meal to see which...
